due West AU: Now With Visual Aides

[nos4a2no9]

As some of you may (unfortunately) recall, I'm plotting a Western AU. Called "due West". And it takes place in 1872, and Ray is a gunslinger, and Fraser is a Constable in the newly-formed North-West Mounted Police.

Because we are party animals, meresy and I spent part of the evening debating the merits of period-appropriate facial hair. Should Fraser

clearly if anyone is going to have ridiculous period-appropriate facial hair, it's going to be kowalski. he'd be so proud of his whiskers! they'd be JUST LIKE wyatt earp's!! (um, i'm assuming kowalski is a gunslinger-lawman and not a gunslinger-outlaw?)

[meresy]

Right?! He so would.

And it'd be bad. Callum has already proven that the muttonchops are a bad idea... I don't think a handlebar would do any better. /o\

[belmanoir]

well sure it would be BAD! but in a sort of adorable way.

[meresy]

An unkempt way, too. Nos is thinking Ray wouldn't stop on the trail much for shaving. I tend to agree. And he'd do it with a knife, too, and Fraser would totally embark on a campaign to get him using a proper razor. :P

*dies of laughter* Oh GOD - his badge is pasted on! And that mustache! Sonia, sweetie, I don't know if I covet your brain or am scared beyond all reason by it. *hearts Sonia and Nos and Meres so much at the moment*

Nos said put a mustache on Fraser and I put a mustache on Fraser. Nothing scary in my brain at all! And really how could I resist the badge?

Also I love your icon more then I love most things.

[sansets]

Yes, but the rhinestones on the hat fell suspiciously ALL YOU! And I just love this icon too! It is by iconsbycurtana and is entirely sharable. I hunted high and I hunted low until I finally found a Darren icon that actually worked for me and lo! She actually had more than one! :-D

[mrs_laugh_track]

He is a rhinestone cowboy ok! That is somehow also not my fault. *looks innocent*

[love_jackianto]

Cowboy Fraser is the funniest thing I've ever seen. I can't wait to see you're AU. If anyone would make a great gunslinger it'd be Ray! When *I* want to make a picture of Ray with a really big mustache.

'I don't think I've seen a movie recently that had that many older folks in the theatre.'
You and me both. I hope this means it'll get a wide audience.

[nos4a2no9]

Well, happy whiluta indulged you downthread. The result is decidedly mixed, but I think Ray would make several serious attempts at a stubble-beard until Fraser complained about the risk of beard-burn out on the trail. *winks*

Oh dear God! ::faints:: Please, no facial hair!!!

[nos4a2no9]

Heh, okay, okay - I think secretlybronte is right: Fraser and facial hair don't really work.

It is the contention of the quorum assembled at my house that the person at the right end of the very back row in the attatched photo is the original Const. Turnbull RCMP.

Julia, possibly silly

[nos4a2no9]

Wow, yes, I think you're right! That is FREAKY!
